About
Our name Basaltic Garlic Farm comes from the basaltic rock lava flows originating from Lava Beds National Park in Northern California. The lava flowed down into the surrounding valleys spreading over a large area, nearly reaching the central valley, a distance of about 100 miles. Over millions of years, pockets of land formed into fertile sandy loam soils perfect for Garlic growing.
While waiting for the wildfire insurance company to do its job, we had the opportunity to seek out a new way of doing business. We already have much farming experience on a smaller scale, and our new land will provide us a way to grow. So we are very excited to become 100% organic farmers.
We are in our fifth yr of organic farming, and the 2022 crop is the best yet. We witness the benefits of cover crops that produce fantastic garlic. We can now grow 13 different types of garlic available in our online store for the 2023 organic crop.
